Abstract: Character dictation is an important ability in the process of individual literacy development, and morphological awareness is a vital cognitive factor that affects the ability of dictation. In order to explore whether the reciprocal prediction relationship between morphological awareness and character dictation changes over time, students in grade 1 and grade 5 were tested by morphological awareness (including homophone awareness and homograph awareness) and dictation in a two-wave study. Controlling for IQ, age, and phonological awareness, the results showed that:(1) T1 homophone awareness and T1 homograph awareness predicted significantly T2 character dictation in grade 1 (explaining 7% and 8% variance respectively), but T1 morphological awareness did not predict significantly T2 character dictation in grade 5; (2) T1 character dictation predicted significantly T2 homophone awareness and T2 homograph awareness in grade 5 (explaining 5% and 6% variance respectively), but T1 character dictation did not predict significantly T2 morphological awareness in grade 1. The results investigated that the bi-directional prediction relationship between morphological awareness and character dictation did not exist in grade 1 and grade 5 for Chinese children, and the relationship would change over time.

Key words: homophone awareness, homograph awareness, character dictation
